In reference to the Lord's Prayer:
"And because Christ, the most obedient petitioner of all, did more than mouth this petition; because he truly bowed his heart before the Father's will, despite the indescribably horrors it cost him, we are saved. The Lord's (enacted) Prayer is the beginning of salvation in the world. Jesus not only prayed to teach us prayer; he became his prayer in order to become our prayer, the right and the power of our praying."
-from Walter Wangerin Jr.'s book "Whole Prayer"
